For legal purposes.

If we are ordered by a legal process or government authority to provide data about one or more users, we will notify those users of our compliance with that order where required by law, to the extent permitted by law.
Business transactions or mergers. We reserve the right to share your Personal Data with third parties as part of any potential business or asset sale, merger, acquisition, investment, round of funding, or similar type of transaction. Additionally, if we are entering into a corporate transaction with a third party, we may receive Personal Data in connection with the diligence.

We may combine that information with other information we collect about you, but we will always use the information as described in this Privacy Policy. We may also disclose your information to our affiliated entities as permitted by law.
With your Consent. In the course of using our Platform, you may consent to the sharing of your Personal Data with various third parties. Where we rely on your consent to share your Personal Data, we will disclose the categories of data and third-party recipients at the time of obtaining your consent.
With third-party service providers. From time to time, we may enter into arrangements with companies whose expertise is essential to the functionality of our Platform. We may disclose to these service providers Personal Data necessary for them to provide the products and services on our behalf. We implement measures reasonably designed to limit the types and amount of data disclosed and contractually restrict such service provider’s ability to use such data outside of their relationship with us.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data which is not Personal Data as it does not directly (or indirectly) reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate individuals’ usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature in order to analyze general trends in how users are interacting with our website to help improve the website and our service offering.

Please note that where you are a user of one of our products or services as part of your contract or employment for another company, your employer may have access to your Personal Data as a separate data controller and may use it in accordance with their own privacy policy.

We recognize the Global Privacy Control. Your browser must be able to support the Global Privacy Control for us to recognize your opt-out preference signal. But, as there is currently no industry agreed-upon response to other Do Not Track signals, our Platform does not respond differently based on a user’s non-GPC Do Not Track signal.

a. Verification and Authorized Agents

To ensure the protection of your Personal Data, we may need to verify that the individual submitting a request is the consumer to whom the request relates prior to processing the request, or an authorized agent. To verify a consumer’s identity, we may request up to three pieces of Personal Data about you when you make a request to compare against our records.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we may require that you access a previously existing account where necessary to submit the request.

We will only use Personal Data provided in your request to verify your identity and will delete any information you provide after processing the request. We reserve the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify the identity of consumers where we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent.

You may choose a person or a business that you authorize to act on your behalf to submit your requests (“Authorized Agent”). If you choose to use an Authorized Agent, we require that you provide the Authorized Agent with written permission to allow them to submit your request and that you verify your identity directly with us. Failure to do so may result in us denying your request.

b. Appealing a Rights Request Decision

If we deny or fail to take action on your request to exercise your applicable consumer privacy rights, you may appeal our decision by emailing us at [email protected] and including information regarding your initial request. In the email appeal, please specify the right(s) you requested to exercise and the date you made such a request.

We will inform you in writing within 45 days of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal. We will also provide a written explanation of the reasons for our decisions regarding your request(s).

c. Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising the privacy rights conferred by law. We will not discriminate against you because you exercised any of your privacy rights, including, but not limited to, by: denying products or services to you; charging different prices or rates for products or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; providing a different level of quality of products or services to you; or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for products or services or a different level or quality of products or services.

12. Complaints

Your satisfaction is very important to us. In most circumstances, any concern can be resolved by simply sharing it with us. Therefore, we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach any regulator and kindly ask that you please contact us in the first instance. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you still have the right to make a complaint at any time to the data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
